shocks

[Frankie6972]

Hello all, new here. Im picking up a 99 Vmax xtc 700 deluxe. Are the shocks rebuildable? If not, any other shocks that will fit? Looking for front and rear. Thank you

Yes, all 4 shocks are rebuildable on a XTC.

 

[Maim]

if they have threads/aluminum body, they are rebuildable.

Yeah looks like mine is a 99 and is not rebuildable. A member has 2 rear from Viper, do the front viper work on the 99 vmax also?

 

[Maim]

front, not without mods. a set from a sxr would work.

rear, that will long travel it and they will work with the mods to convert it to that. hope they are re valved as factory valving was very stiff.

Hello, new to this, what is sxr? And is that for front? Rear use viper. Or mods u speak of sorry maybe too old

 

[MURDER YAMAHA]

An XTC is already a long travel, so any shock from a Viper will bolt right in, front or rear.

"97-03 Yamaha front shock OEM KYB spring Vmax SXR 600 700 venture phazer Viper." I ordered 2 front shock off ebay, then to check they dont fit? Very weird. This is the ad in quotes . I sent the seller a message to confirm if they do or dont, so confusing.I need it for my 99' vmax 700 deluxe. Did I make the right purchase or not. Thanks for everyones help. At he point where I will just keep stock shocks but I wanted to slowly replace as many aprts as I can before next November.
